I don’t mean to spoil the pleasure of the song for you, but do you think you could help me fill in the gaps I found on the lyrics.

Best luck then, and enjoy the show!

Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
it makes the world go round.

A mark, a yen, a (1) __________ or a pound,
a (1) __________ or a pound, a (1) __________ or a pound,
Is all that makes the world go around,
that clinking clanking sound,
Can make the world go round.

If you happen to be rich, and you feel like a night’s entertainment,
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich, and alone and you need a companion,
You can ring ting-a-ling for the maid.
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover,
Though you moan and you (2) _________ quite a lot,
You can take it on the chin,
call a cab and begin to recover on your fourteen carat yacht.

Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
of that we both are sure.
On being (3) _________ .

When you haven’t any coal in the (4) _________ and you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven’t any shoes on your feet and your coat’s thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds (5) _________ ,
When you go to get a word of advice from the fat little pastor,
he will tell you to love evermore.
But when (6) _________ comes to rap, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, at the window
See how love flies out the door.

For money makes the world go around, the world go around,
the world go around.
Money makes the world go around,
the clinking, clanking sound
of Money, money, money, money,
Money, money, money, money,
Get a little, get a little,
Money, money, money, money,
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking clunking sound
is all that makes the world go round,
It makes the world go round.

I found it quite difficult, because they speak very fast and with a French accent. Although I´m not very sure in some words. These are my answers: 1- buck, 2- grow, 3- in poor, 4- school, 5- on the way, 6- a hundred.
